Step 1: Hydrating the peppers

add them to the measuring cup and try to be gentle with the peppers they are brittle and need to become soft slowly.

This takes about 2 hours

After about 45 minutes use a can to gently hold the peppers under the liquid. This will allow any air trapped inside to be squished out and filled with the liquid. Leave the can in for 15 minutes and finish hydrating the peppers.
